Look at that monstrous rollercoaster, I thought to myself the day I decided to overcome my fear of roller coasters. I have feared riding one ever since my dad forced me one when I was younger. I knew it was time to ride when everyone influenced me it was not that bad, I had to stop reading the horrible stories, and stood in the short line for the ride.

Everyone was telling me that riding a roller coaster was not that bad, I then decided that maybe I should give one a chance. That was final; no more going back and forth, back and forth trying to decide to ride or not to ride. I knew what I had to do to get myself one that ride. I had to stand in line for the terrible roller coaster.

First thing is first, I have to stop reading the horribly frightening stories about how roller coasters would fall apart or break down. That would be my first stop in concurring my fear of roller coasters. Some stories were horrifying. Like one said the coaster broke down and people fell out of it. The next step was harder than this one was.

Standing in line for the actual ride; it was the hardest part. That day at Busch gardens I picked out my ride. The lockness monster; it was a giant ride. Honestly it scared me a little bit. I looked at the line for the ride and it was so short. I figured why not just ride it and get this over with. So I stood in line, the next thing I knew it was my turn. My turn to get on the ride I feared for so long. After getting in a strapped myself in very tightly and closed my eyes. The next thing I knew it was over, and I screamed the whole time it was so much fun. I couldn’t wait to do it again and again.

I finally did it; I concurred my fear of roller coasters. I now ride all of the roller coasters at Busch gardens. I learned that the horribly frightening stories only happened one in a million and my friends were right about how much fun they could be. Your stomach dropping is my favorite part. Also when you wait in what seems to be a long line it goes by faster than you think when you are with your friends. I now love to ride roller coasters. I help convince my boyfriend that roller coasters aren’t that bad.
